Kheira Hamraoui wants to understand in order to get better.

The international community says it "needs the truth to come out" concerning the attack she suffered at the end of 2021, by hooded men who hit her with an iron bar, in a first speech in

L'Equipe

.

“A lot of questions torment me: why me?

Why so much violence against me?

I need the truth to come out to calm me down, ”said the PSG player in an interview broadcast Tuesday evening on the sports daily website.

“I thought I was going to stay there”

"I experienced an attack of incredible violence," she says.

“Two hooded strangers took me out of the car I was in to beat me in the legs with iron bars.

That night, I really thought I was going to stay there… I was screaming in pain.

I tried to protect myself as much as possible.

This scene, for me, lasted five minutes.

It was unbearable.

I keep a very painful memory, very heavy.

“I experienced a real ambush.

These individuals were waiting for me behind a truck.

They were in the right place at the right time.

How could they be so well informed?

These are so many unanswered questions even today, ”she says.

Asked about having directed the investigators to her teammate Aminata Diallo, present on November 4, 2021 at the time of the attack, she replied: “I am not speaking today to talk about the judicial investigation.

One thing is certain, I was the victim of a terrible attack.

I will not participate in this "media court", it does not make sense to me".

Eric Abidal "has nothing to do with the aggression"

“Thousands of people, journalists, bloggers, youtubers have spoken about my attack without knowing anything.

A lot of false things have been said”, further notes Hamraoui who, “under contract with PSG until June 2023”, is “at the disposal of the club for next season like all players under contract”.

Finally, regarding her relationship with ex-player Eric Abidal, when he was sporting director of FC Barcelona and she a player of the Spanish club, she wants to be clear: "The subject of Eric Abidal is not one and not has nothing to do with the aggression of which I was the victim.
